Jake Deckard Directs and Roman Ragazzi Erects
  

   After seeing the press release for the soon-to-be released  Raging Stallion DVD Savage we noticed that one of our current faves Jake Deckard was nowhere to be seen in the credits. Then we thought we had found the answer in yet another press release Jake Deckard has been busy with JOCK ITCH!!

  Before you send some Lamisil to Jake in care of Raging Stallion, it's best we explain. Jock Itch is the name of a new sports-themed flick directed by and starring Jake Deckard for his Screaming Eagle XXX video line. Ok, if you know Jake's films and saw the first Screaming Eagle XXX feature Ink Storm you know it won't be just sports-themed---it's a sports gear fetish film. And since Ink Storm  picked up a couple GayVN nominations  (for Best Fetish video) you'll know it'll be good too.                                                           

 Also featured in the film are Logan McCree, Steve Cruz, Scott Tanner and Tyler Saint. In the press release Jake says:                                                            

 "I think sports gear has a broad appeal in a sexual context," says Deckard. "I love jocks, socks, cleats, pads, all that shit, and while I was busy filming this video it's really developed into a full on fetish for me."

 Hmm.... we think it was already a fetish for the broad-minded Jake. The video is going to premiere during Black Party week in New York City. Where else?
 
 Screaming Eagle XXX is fully owned by Jake (who we think is the main draw of Raging Stallion) but Raging Stallion is the exclusive distributor of the company's videos. And because of this special deal, Raging Stallion models are allowed to perform in the Screaming Eagle XXX productions. The press release also assures his fans that while Jake Deckard is going more into the production end of videos, he will still be performing in front. The beauty of it is that he'll get to choose his own co-stars---that should ratchet up the chemistry.

  The Raging Stallion press release also brings up something that we've given some thought recently--the mainstreaming of and marketing of fetish. We think we're a long way from total acceptance of fetish (and it would be a bit of an oxymoron if fetish was totally mainstream and accepted) but it has managed to find its way into our pop culture consciousness. 

 Look at how much fetish was a part of this past week's edition of Make Me a Supermodel. And doesn't it look like it's going to weave its way into the next Project Runway? This isn't new by any means. Look at how corsets, fishnet stockings, leather, chains, etc have all made their way into mainstream fashion. 

 One of the last frontiers of fetish fashion is probably vinyl.  Oh sure we know vinyl has already been incorporated into today's fashions but it's REALLY big in fetish wear. Check out the site Slick It Up if you want to see how vinyl has become THE wear for fetish enthusiasts and how big a business it's become. The stuff looks futuristic in some cases and in other instances the outfits look like they've been lifted right out of the pages of super-hero comics. Just about every article of clothing is covered (so to speak). Slick It Up also brings us right back to Raging Stallion again --- you don't to look too closely to see that Roman Ragazzi is one of the main models for the site. He does seem to have the perfect body for this kind of modeling don't you agree?
